E Pluribus Unum!
Danger! Danger! Danger, Palin is the one!
One, we all want to be part of one, group, party, or movement. Minorities, we come in all flavors and colors and ethnicities, but as a country, we are not of one mind. Our differences and uniqueness has caused all sorts of movements and identities to form and develop over the expanse of America history, yet I can’t think of one possibly being taken for the sad ride the Tea Party Movement is being taken for presently by Palin. The original concept of the Boston Tea Party was grand for its intent, ‘No Taxation without Representation’, because England was getting over on the white slavery put into place here to get this country’s party started. So, we managed to obtain our freedom by revolution. But, as a developing country, we have had many trials and tribulations along the way. There have been many during this development that felt left out of consideration in what is supposed to be so good here in America that everyone wants to come here to live.
But, this time I think this movement is being taken for a wild ride, and I’m not sure there is any way to stop or avoid it for there has never been a movement like it in America today. The Pundits want this to be a revolution as it makes for good press clippings and will keep viewers returning for the next episode. However, this particular group doesn’t fit the mold of no Blacks in elected offices, or no Latinos being hired for city union positions or no Women executives. This Tea Party Movement represents a totally different group of Americans; they represent the heart and soul of the group previous known as the Klu Klux Klan. This group is about stopping immigration totally, sending blacks anywhere but here, no religious freedoms, no taxes, no government intervention at any level but what is barely needed to function as a vehicle of communications with other countries as required. These folks question the Presidents credentials for being in office because they feel blacks have no right to the privileges afforded White Americans period. Yes, idiot, this does include every race not proven to be of Aryan descent. There won’t be a reason for peace with these people until they are of the mindset that we are no longer part of their world period. They represent the soul of a totally anti-melting pot mentally as one can have in modern times without a civil war already in place to justify the so-called Second Amendment Rights that allows them to walk around with guns exposed in the country’s capital.
The Press is hot to set up Palin as the leader of these people and they seem to think that she has their best interest at heart. I peeped her interview with Chris Wallace of Fox News, and while she fared better than previous interviews prior, she downplayed wisely the notion of her as the heir apparent to whatever comes out of this movement. This group feels it is their Manifest Destiny for the America of their dreams not to include diversity, equality, immigration and inclusion. Quiet as it is kept, I believe religious freedoms as we know them to exist today would be revisited also. The press realizes and makes note of the peril to the Republican Party here, but because of the declared capitalistic state of our Democracy, ratings are more important even to Fox News who represents not the free press of all Americans, but the propaganda arm of the Republican Party. The potential fallout from a full confrontation between the idealistic groups like the Tea Party Movement and the rest of the Republican Party faithful would be a boon for television ratings across the board. I am not sure of Palin’s true opinion of this movement at heart outside of the props she has given them to date, but I think I can safely say that with the agendas of each, the twains will never meet.
That doesn’t mean that she won’t someday lead this group somewhere, but this is were the pavement will meet the tire as Palin and the Tea Party Movement proceed forward and determine the future of the Republican Party. Her interview suggested that keeping the door open for a presidential run is always a possibility, but she is leading lambs to slaughter if she assumes mantel of leader of the Tea Party and rips Republicans not passing the litmus test as was inflicted with success on the Scott Brown election for Ted Kennedy’s seat. Now everyone seeking the Republican Party’s mantel as a leader has to be cleared as being conservative enough to obtain the endorsement of Palin or some prominent member of this Tea movement group. This could lead to many mainstream centrist thinking politicians of this party not making the cut. This doesn’t bode well for the Democrats as blue dog mindsets are not party specific, they will become targets of the Tea Baggers as well in general elections. This will not be good for America to get anything done in Washington as it was already holding up getting things done there in Congress. Palin may be many things since Senator John McCain discovered her in seeking the Presidency last election, but she is not the one to be true to this movement of unique Americans. Palin is about one thing, Palin! Don’t believe me; ask Levi, he was there when she was discovered.
